Does anyone have any horror stories about deploying v6?

not horror, just had to back off.

small site.  so public servers provide multiple and diverse services.
if a hostname has a v6 address, then all services must be v6 capable
because clients do not retry the A record.

what's interesting is some applications on the same platform reacting
differently :( Safari works 'fine' but mail.app is 'broken' for some
corner cases of v4/v6 naming/capabilities. Iljitsch pointed out mail.app,
I've filed atleast one bug with apple... I'm positive there are others as
well.
